I'm so glad this story had a good ending - many don't.
Only disappointment is that it should be longer. Perhaps you could write a sequel - Damon & Elena get married - honeymoon - possibly adopt 1-2 children - have a happy life together

So, her damaged heart is healed. They have talked it out. She has quit coming at him like some emotionless fuckgirl...And and allowed her Alf to let go love and be loved. Gentle passionate. Truthfully pouring her heart out. She wants to be immortal with him. And he has finally agreed to change her. This should be good.

I'm reading this in February of 2017. There are only 4episodes left of TVD. Nina will return for the Series Finale
It's amazing how close you got to D"s promise in 6x21.

It's so sad that her life has come to this. She'd rather be dead or a Vampire. All so she can flip the switch! Ugh! Elena! Damon loves you. You do have some one who cares. Just give him a chance to explain why he (wrongly but didn't know it) left you.

Damn, everyone died, and they just left? Damon left her? He thought it was best? Thought she could just get over it and have that white picket fence? After all the death and destruction, and being abandoned, she could be a normal girl, with a normal life?
